Chapter 324: Dark Moon Knights' Trainee Knight
The white spirit's cry was very shrill and creepy to listen to.
But the fanaticism in the words was even colder than the shouting. The spirit was like a madman with a twisted mind who only knew how to worship Sullivan.
The cries came like a severe cold, as if the warming grass fruit that Leon and the others had just eaten had lost its effect, and the biting cold wind was corroding them from the outside in.
"Wait a minute, the Nuan Nuan Grass Fruit has lost its effect!"
Seeing a layer of frost on everyone's body, Leon realized that the warming effect brought by the warm grass fruit had disappeared. He quickly took out the grass fruit from his backpack and ate one for each person.
"I told you, how could my strong heart produce a bunch of weird psychological activities just because of the cry of a spirit." Because the Nuannuan grass fruit was too spicy, Malu kept breathing heavily.
"Don't try to cover up the fact that you have such low cultural level that you can't think of words to describe the psychological changes, okay?" Leon's words caused the latter to grab wildly.
Everyone carefully walked around the spirit, the appearance of which only made them feel that Irithyll had a strong religious atmosphere and that Pope Salivan was being worshipped abnormally.
Presumably, the Pope was no ordinary person, but combined with the descriptions of the Pope in the various items obtained previously, an image of a mastermind and an ambitious person was gradually compiled.
In addition, Irithyll in the Frost Valley is the Pope's territory, and Salivan's sense of oppression gradually began to emerge.
The dim alleys are connected in all directions, and when you look up you can only see the sky through the narrow gaps between the buildings. It seems very depressing, but Leon feels more comfortable here.
How to describe this feeling? The scenery of Irithyll is undoubtedly magnificent and beautiful, but the intricate alleys are more "Sion-like". For someone like him who has been fighting since the beginning of the mutation, the dark environment is more relaxing.
Sometimes I really feel like a bitch.
"Bang!"
The sound of swords clashing came out of nowhere. The Sen Dungeon would naturally not give up on blocking monsters in the alleys.
Narrow terrain can hinder adventurers when wielding weapons, but it can also be used to their advantage, such as
"Tel, use Savage Charge!"
“Ohhhh!”
Tel gathered all his strength and rushed down the alley while holding up his shield. Wherever he passed, there were wailings of invisible people, who were obviously crushed by his brute force.
"Very good, the plan works!"
Leon and the others followed closely behind Tel and jogged. If possible, they really wanted to keep rushing to the end.
But when Tel's momentum weakened, a tall and thin figure fell from the sky and cut a huge wound on his back with a knife.
The one coming is the Papal Knight!
She held a shield in one hand and a curved sword in the other. The large blade looked as if it had been gnawed by insects. It was light and deadly, but also quite fragile.
Malu pounced on the Pope Knight the moment he appeared, but was dodged by the other party with a light leap.
"This guy reacts so quickly!"
At this moment, another Papal Knight jumped down from behind them. This was the consequence of parkour being blocked, and they had to face the monster provoked from behind.
According to Leon's habit, when facing this kind of newly emerged enemy, he often needs to test it before actually taking action. After all, he needs to be conservative in Sean.
But now he had no time to try his luck, because when the Pope Knights appeared, the Fire Witch on the bridge would use them to control the whereabouts of the adventurers, and the next one to follow would be -
"boom!"
Several pillars of fire shot up into the sky, and at this time the Papal Knights also launched attacks one after another.
In this situation, the only option is to go forward bravely. If you drag it on, you will be burned to death by the flames!
The offensive of the Papal Knights was extremely fierce, like a Casas warrior running at double speed. Even Leon was unable to react when suddenly encountering such an enemy.
But this situation changed when he seized the opportunity to swing his shield and tried to use the War Ash [Counterattack] to create an attack opportunity, but the second time he bounced, he directly shattered the Pope Knight's curved sword.
The hardness of this curved sword that was gnawed by insects was slightly lower than that of normal weapons, but I didn't expect it to break directly after being successfully deflected twice!
Seems quite reasonable?
Just like the dual-blade White Ape Sword Master couldn't cut through Leon's armor, there are also differences between weapons.
When Qu Jian's weakness was discovered, the counterattack began, and Tel also found his own way of fighting - blood exchange!
Don't be afraid of getting hurt. The Pope Knight's small body will stagger if he is hit by him. He can rush forward and kill the opponent with one blow.
The Papal Knights fell to the ground and dispersed. The Fire Witch lost her target and stopped casting magic. The crisis was temporarily averted.
"Hiss, the wound caused by the enemy this time is quite painful."
Leon covered his bleeding arm, not knowing if it was his illusion, but he felt that since the appearance of the Casas Underground Cemetery, the strength of the monsters in the new areas has generally increased (excluding the Road of Living Sacrifice).
This is just perfect, as the adventurers' strength is increasing because of the bonfire, so of course the monsters must keep up with the strength.
In fact, it is the [Strong and Weak Balance] authority that is taking effect. Recently, this authority has affected the drops. The drops of monsters of the same type with different strengths will be different, and the props located on the map will also be different.
"Can you enter the house?"
As Leon and his friends were wandering through the alleys, they unexpectedly discovered that although the doors of the nearby houses were sealed with wooden boards, they could be broken down by brute force.
There were not many props that were qualified to form light spots. They spent longer than expected to search all the houses along the way. The most valuable items were two rings - [Magic Square Stone Ring] and [Fire Square Stone Ring], which could enhance the resistance to damage of corresponding attributes.
Other than that there are some soul blocks of varying sizes. They are not useless, but they are less surprising.
The largest items here are various small items, including tableware, bottles and jars, jewelry and other items with Irithyll characteristics, ranging from daily necessities to luxury goods. It is obvious at a glance that these things are very much in line with the appetites of outside nobles and collectors.
It seems that the interiors of these houses were prepared by Gong Qiying for the nobles. By then, the nobles will definitely hire adventurers to find a way to get in for these things.
Leaving the house and walking along the alley, Leon came to the end of the road. He carefully stuck his head out, only to see that the Fire Witch on the bridge had been left behind them.
Even if this street comes?
Leon felt something was wrong. The bridge where the Fire Witch was located could obviously be climbed up through a building, but they didn't find it just now.
Considering that they only took the alley on the right, perhaps there is a way to approach the Fire Witch in the alley on the left.
Leon took note of this and set his sights at the end of the road, where there was an iron gate rising into the sky, blocking the huge altar and the square.
The square is not far from the cathedral in the center of the town.
And on the altar there is something that looks like a corpse?
This is not important. What is important is that there are golden spots on the corpse!
Golden legend!
Leon's breathing became heavy for a moment, but he calmed down after seeing the closed iron gate and pushed it.
[Cannot be opened from this side]
“I knew it.”
It might be possible to use flying magic to climb over the iron gate, but who knows if the light will disappear?
"That means we have to find another way in."
Just as I was thinking this, Malu suddenly said, "There's a cry for help coming from the east."
East?
People ran over following the sound and saw several mutated hounds barking around a house, and the sound of a child crying could be heard from behind the door.
Is it an afterimage?
Leon dealt with the hounds and knocked on the door.
"Yes, did you save me?" The child's voice behind the door was trembling, and it seemed that he was frightened.
"Yes, why are you here and separated from the adventurer team?"
"Adventurer? No, I'm here to look for my brother. He's a trainee knight of the Dark Moon Knights. I've never heard of an adventurer."
It was indeed an afterimage.
As soon as he confirmed the other party's identity, Leon began to ask questions. Although the child was frightened, he still got some useful questions out of him after his best efforts to comfort him.
"The Dark Moon Knights are an organization that fights against the traitors. My brother is one of the trainee knights. But he hasn't sent a letter home for a long time. I ran out to find my brother without telling my family, but I didn't expect that Irithyll had already..."
"If it wasn't for an old man dressed like an onion who saved me, I would be dead now."
Onion? Jack Baldo, I didn't expect him to be here too.
Leon naturally knew about the Onion Knight in the well at the entrance of the Deep Church, and he killed Patch and returned the armor to the Onion Knight.
However, the Dark Moon Knights sound very familiar. By the way, in the underground labyrinth of the Rhea Lukalia School of Magic, there is the blessing of this faction, on par with the Tomb King, the Sun, etc.
It is said that the Knights of the Darkmoon were an order of knights that had signed the Darkmoon Oath and were loyal to the Shadow Sun Gwyndolin, but something happened and they no longer exist.
Then the brother of the child behind the door might also
Let’s not think about how this child got into Irithyll for now. He would definitely not be able to survive alone in this dangerous city. Leon tentatively asked if he needed help.
He had a feeling that this would be a series of events similar to the "Warrior Pot".
"I don't dare to go out, and I beg you not to break down this door. By the way, can you help me find a set of armor for the bad guys outside? If I can put on their armor, maybe I can get out."
"Or is there any safe place? If so, I hope you can tell me. I can exchange information for it."
"What information?"
"Do you see the big iron gate on the west side? If it can be opened, it's a shortcut to the most terrible man in this city. I know a secret way to get in there."
"Okay, just wait here, we will definitely come back to help you."
"By the way, where is the Onion Knight you mentioned?" asked Malu. She had a good impression of the honest-looking Onion Knight.
Unfortunately, the child didn’t know, so she could only shake her head regretfully.
The child said he wanted the suit of the bad guy outside, which means either the Fire Witch or the Pope Knight will do.
But this also means that Leon and his friends have to spend time to get equipment.
The armor of these two types of enemies are of good quality, so the drop probability is low. It is estimated to be quite difficult to collect a complete set of equipment.
What is going on? Did the Sen Dungeon design this task specifically to delay adventurers' "online time"?
Leon and his team made a special trip back for this purpose, successfully climbed onto the bridge from the alley on the other side of the avenue, and killed the three fire witches on it.
Along the way, he defeated two Pope Knights and a bunch of invisible people, but in the end he only got a [Flame Witch Gauntlet].
Seeing this, even Maru, who was most likely to empathize with the afterimage, couldn't help but say:
"Why don't we just explore the map first and let the equipment and the like come to us."
This is the only way. If I just keep fighting monsters here, I don't know how long it will take to get a complete set of equipment.
After observation, they found that the avenue they were currently on could be regarded as the south side of an intersection, but the road to the north was blocked by an iron gate, leaving only two roads to travel: east and west.
Standing in the middle of the iron gate, people were struggling to make a decision. In the end, they chose to go east by throwing stones, passing by the child's home.
Monsters like the Pope Knight, which would be elite in other dungeons, are everywhere here. It seems that Irithyll sacrificed the quantity of monsters in exchange for quality.
At the beginning, the layout of the east avenue was almost the same as that of the south side.
But as they went deeper and deeper, a strange feeling came over them.
It felt like the road was becoming wider and wider, and the temperature was getting lower and lower, allowing them to feel the severe cold during the period when the warm grass fruit was effective.
Even a fool would realize something when he sees that the road has become more than twice as wide as it was originally.
As we all know, when you are walking in the Sen Dungeon and suddenly find that the place has become open, it is not that there are long-range attack monsters locking onto you, but that is -
The cold wind was howling, the frost was shining brightly in the night light, and the sound of heavy footsteps and beast-like breathing could be heard in the air, exuding a heart-pounding power.
A crawling giant lost its invisibility, and the hammer in its hand exuded a chill. His figure was like both a human and a beast, but in the final analysis, this was a Papal Knight who had turned into a beast.
【Dolpo of the Cold Valley】
Gong Qiying didn't type the name wrong.
